Hungarian President Katalin Novak steps down on live TV after pardoning a man involved in covering up child sexual abuse.
The decision sparked protests and criticism, leading to her resignation. Former Justice Minister Judit Varga, who approved the pardon, also resigns.
The scandal has embarrassed the ruling Fidesz party, known for its focus on traditional family values. Novak apologizes for the mistake, acknowledging doubts about the government’s stance on pedophilia.
The resignations of these prominent female politicians are seen as a blow to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s party.
